And yes, our Halfmarathon is 14 miles long
With this course we try to introduce new runners and road runners to trail running. We have a generous time limit, so one could even power hike it.
The entire course is located within Wissahickon Park, so you are in nature the entire run. If you enjoy trail running, you will enjoy our 13.1+ (14 miles really) featuring 5 miles
of dirt trails and 8 miles of gravel trail on the scenic Forbidden Drive.
